Auntie Coo Coo Wow!! You did a great job tackling Whitney's challenge box!! I can't choose just one favorite, because they were all great! My top choices are the candy tree, and the stacked porch decor. I can't wait to try to recreate these!!
Thanks for being a good sport! Note to self, maybe I need to dial back my diabolical ideas for challenge items next year LOL I was told too many times I was too soft, and maybe I went too far off the other end HAHAHAHAAHAH (evil laugh) As always you killed it! That bowl stack is EVERYTHING!! Also so sorry I messed up the second challenge item, reading isn't my strong suit apparently....ooops! And spoke too soon - the candle is a MUST DO - how fun?!?! And your excitement during the RAOK bit is so sweet, I love it when you do that and they pay it on to the next person :) Merry Christmas, friend! I told Santa he needs to bring you a play button for 100k this year!! :)
LOL don't be sorry I was VERY relieved it wasn't GLITTER!!!! I love a good challenge and you my friend provided it! Reading instructions is obviously not for me either since I thought the DIY had to be transportation related 😂 I wouldn't change a thing that you sent me! I hope you have a beautiful Christmas with your sweet family! Merry Christmas!
I absolutely love the ornament stack. I would recreate it but we live so far out of town no one see it. I might make it and donated to an assisted living center. So nice to see everyone doing the random act of kindness. I am also donating clothes and craft supplies to the women’s shelter and assisted living center. It would be so great if more people did this and not just at Christmas. So on that note, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄
She did it Whitney! Yay! Val, you hit the 100K! All the hard work and time you’ve put in earned that! And maybe with a tiny bit of help from Whitney’s Santa request. Merry Christmas to all!❤
That ornament stack is AMAZING!! And the bells!! I’m going to have to go for some supplies for both of those-love them!! All of these projects are super cute and so creative!
Val, you totally knocked it out of the park!!! That topiary is FABULOUS!!!!! 🌟 & I LOVE the bells made out of pots!! BRILLIANT!!! 🔔 & the box with headband handle was precious as was the pickle ball paddle!!! GREAT JOB!!! Merry Christmas! ❤️💚🎄
Loved all your projects. You did an awesome job! FYI, the 12 days of Christmas actually start with Christmas Day. I think this countdown would be great starting on Christmas Day leading to the Epiphany. Gives you something to look forward to after the Christmas rush is over. Thanks so much!
That was absolutely amazing Val! I swear ive never gasped so loud as i did at the cheese grater. Whitney needs a panking with that amazing diy paddle you created!! 😂😅😂
Your large ornament stack looks so pretty! I just have fun watching you. Your reaction to the person you paid for paying for the next person was so cute. ❤
Val! You always do such a great job! I LOVE your ornament stack for the front door. I felt your pain when you realized you still had to get lights and the pole in there. Thank you for another great year of the MBC! I can’t wait for next year’s new fun features. Love you, friend! ❤
Holy moly! 😮 You did an AMAZING job!! 👏 I especially love the outdoor ornament stack 😍 I think I have some bolws, I'm going to try it! Thank you & much love 💜🙏💜

My family is Cuban and my mom always celebrated Three Kings day/the Epiphany and I was always taught that the days between Christmas day (25th) and the Epiphany (1/6) were considered ad the Twelve days of Christmas….is that not right?
I ❤❤❤... the pay it forward. It's always exciting to see the looks on people's faces. The ball tower was by far my favorite project. I would like to replicate in a peppermint theme.
WOW 😮 so very creative 👏 ❤ First of all I can’t pick a favorite because I loved 🥰 them all. I really loved the ornament light up stand. Candy tree great gift idea. Thanks for sharing all your creative ideas ❤

Val I would have no idea what to do with the grater. Making into a pickle ball paddle was genius. The ornament topiary was amazing. You really thought outside of the box. Have a wonderful weekend.
That 4ft ornament topiary was so beautiful. If seen versions of this, but yours is the most beautiful Ive seen so far. And the bells where pretty amazing too.
Hello Valerie! I loved every one of your creations! You are so talented and I always enjoy seeing what you put together. Thank you so much. Take care and God Bless. Sincerely, Diane😊
I love watching all you wonderful creative ladies and gentlemen. You all are so absolutely amazing and i love the friendship you all have developed. I just want to recreate everything you all do and it drives my husband crazy😂
I am so impressed with everything. The porch topiary is my favorite along with the Bells on your door. But they're all great job. Love watching you have a wonderful holiday season
Loved the outside ornaments. I was watching you and thinking you wouldn’t get the pole in with the ornaments in the bowl. 😊but it turned out fantastic when you were done. I think I will try to make one.
I really like your/Whitney's take on the automotive, transportation DIY, they are both so thought invoking. You rocked the grater, I have no idea what I would have done with that and I really love you're take on the topiary/ ornament tree and your bells. I always think it's fantastic when a RU-vidr gets to do a craft they've always wanted to on the MBC and the coffee beans floating to the top seems like a blessing in disguise so you can smell them all the way down. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I absolutely loved the stacked bowl decoration. It was so clever how you put it all together and it does look like an mega expensive piece. you get 👍👍 up!
Val, You hit the ball out of the park with the stacked bowl ornaments outside your door. That is awesome. I was gifted a coffee candle before to. It was the best smelling long lasting candle I ever had. I am a RN also, but on disability due to care accident doing home health.
Ok so im just a little confused about rhe large ornament stack..you mentioned mistakes that you had made ..any chance you can put the correct order of how to make them without running into rhe same mistakes?? Btw I love this. Im just not very crafty so I need things to be in order from the first to the last step. Great video I can't wait to try these ideas thx .
When you melt the candle next. Add it while the water is cold still, then let it gradually get hot and boil. Adding it from cold ir room temp to boiling water can cause it to break the glass. Also the coffee beans you can add the bottom part with the beans then let cool, then add more to keep it at the bottom. I absolutely love them on top though too! (Warm the top a bit to make it not show the line.)
